Chapter 328: I've Become the Best Player in the League

(Ask for recommendation)

After the matchup before the start of this season's playoffs, many people thought that the first round of the series did not have much to watch, and there was basically no strong dialogue in the matchup, but when the playoffs really started, this round of the series surprised everyone.

Except for the Timberwolves, who swept the opponent very neatly and neatly 3-0, there was no sweep in every other matchup, which was impossible to see before.

Especially the Lakers vs. Suns, Grizzlies vs. Mavericks, these two games were supposed to be the same as the Timberwolves vs. the Trail Blazers, but the process of the facts is a little surprising, the Lakers and the Suns duel is normal, last season it was Szczebiak's Lakers and the Lakers who lacked Kidd finally played 3-2, the Lakers were in danger, and Hardaway, who performed like a god in the playoffs last season, is still remembered by many Suns fans, although this is the second and seventh matchup, But there are also some Suns fans who are looking forward to making some trouble for the Lakers as much as possible after the lack of Kidd last season, in fact, the Suns did create some trouble for the Lakers, the Lakers lost to the Suns in the first game of this series, Hardaway broke out again in the face of old opponents, and scored 44 points in a single game, and Kidd also scored a triple-double, it can be said that the Lakers, who were a little light under the leadership of the Suns' double backcourt, lost again, The Lakers have a long history of underestimating opponents, as is the case with any opponent other than the Timberwolves. Of course, this problem is the team's big shark O'Neal, but just when Suns fans really thought they had the advantage of winning the game on the other side's road. The Lakers woke up immediately, and let the Suns go out directly after three games in a row. The final score is also fixed at 3-1, this season the Lakers have greatly increased their strength because of Szczebiak, and the Suns have no way to make a qualitative change in the team even if they have more Kidd, and even the dual core of Kidd and Hardaway is not as good as Hardaway's single core, so this result is not too surprising.

The Lakers and Suns are not too surprised, and the Grizzlies and Mavericks are really a little amazing. What kind of team are the Grizzlies? This is the top three teams in the league and is recognized as the only team that can challenge the Lakers and Timberwolves, and if the Lakers and Timberwolves are a notch, then the Grizzlies are just a little lower than that. And other NBA players are in another grade, even the Mavericks who are sixth in the West, but it is the strength of this round that is not symmetrical, and even the game that is considered to be the Mavericks must lose finally entered the tie-break, the Grizzlies and Mavericks each won their respective home courts in this round of the series, and then the four games were 2-2, and the Mavericks' German, who once made the Celtics and Mavericks compete for the head, was officially crowned a god in this round of the series, Averaging 35.5 points and 15.5 rebounds per game in four games, he has almost blown up the Grizzlies' interior led by Raheem, and what is even more worrying is that the Grizzlies have not much to do in the face of the Mavericks' rapid offense. The two teams have always shown this state of mutual explosion, so this also makes any possibility of this round of the series should be, which is a bit of a gain and loss for the stronger side, which makes this round of the series into the final tie-break after many people are optimistic about their Mavericks, thinking that this team will break out the first upset of the playoffs this season.

Like the Grizzlies Mavericks entering the tie-break, the other matchup in the West, the Spurs and the Kings also ended up in the tie-break, and the Kings have risen this season, but in many people's impressions, everyone does not regard the Kings as a strong team, especially in the playoffs, the Kings' record is simply miserable. In the playoffs in the first two years, the Kings lost to the Timberwolves and lost too badly, so this round of matches is the only one in the West that is likely to be on the next match, compared to the Kings, everyone is more optimistic about the Spurs, although the Spurs are now old, but they have strong playoff experience, and the team also has Duncan, a player who can create miracles and dominate the game, but even if many people are optimistic about the Spurs, they also know that the Spurs are not the Timberwolves, and it is not easy for them to beat the Kings, in fact, it also confirms this inferenceIn this series, the Kings and Spurs actually lost on their own home courts, and then won all on each other's home courts, which is also the first time in the history of the league playoffs, of course, because of this, the Spurs and Kings finally grabbed five. As for the final victory, it is also very unpredictable. …,

Compared with such entanglements in the West, the East is much clearer, although there was no sweep in the four rounds of the East, but only one of the four games was a tie-break, that is, the 76ers, who were the first in the East, against the Pacers, who were eighth in the East.

The Pacers were the champions of the East last year, although the finals were swept by the Timberwolves, but the strength of this team is undoubted, they were indeed one piece higher than other teams in the East last season, but after the beginning of this season, the team's offensive fulcrum Dutch big center Smits retired after the team's tactical system collapsed, and Larry Bird's three-year team tactics are also facing the embarrassing situation of falling apart, which directly led to the Pacers playing such a record this season. Otherwise, with the strength of their players, even without Smiters, there will be no such gap, Rose, Miller, Davis and other strong generals are still there, as long as Larry Bird changes a tactic that suits these people or changes a system, the Pacers are still a team that can call the wind and rain in the East, but like Zhuang Fei, Larry Bird is also a stubborn person, he doesn't want to give up the tactics and system he has polished for three years, he is still looking for an offensive fulcrum on the inside, but even so, Under the tenacious leadership of Miller and Rose, the Pacers finally dragged the 76ers, who were stronger than themselves, into the quagmire of stealing five.

Of course, except for the 76ers and the Pacers who are now playing stalemate, the other games are very easy, even if there is no sweep, it is very easy, the second Heat in the East almost broke the team in the face of the seventh Nets, three of the four games The Nets lost by more than 20 points, and only one Marbury beat the Heat with 42 points of his own personal ability, but Marbury also only played that game, and the other three games The former Timberwolves point guard shot less than 30%, And he also likes bad shots and hitting the Heat's baskets, which directly makes Mourning's average blocks per game in this series reach a staggering 7, most of which are given to the Nets point guard.

The Bucks, who are third in the East, and the Magic, who are sixth in the East, are still playing very easily, although Grant Hill has defected a lot of games this season, but it is also with everyone's collective efforts that they finally entered the playoffs in the East where the competition is not fierce and is ranked sixth, in the regular season, the Magic without Grant Hill can make up for the lack of talent with their own efforts, but in the playoffs, it is completely impossible, Their opponent, the Bucks' three-shot musketeers, is a group of talented and capable players, and Docile Rivers, who led the Magic into the playoffs for the first time as a coach, also faced the veteran coach George Karl and also lost completely, and in the end, the series Magic only won a game at home with a very difficult time and then lost 1-3.

The first two matches in the East did not cause upsets, and the fourth and fifth Knicks and Hornets in the East were upset, and the reason why New York failed last season was that many people thought that Gorilla Ewing dragged the Knicks back, so at the beginning of the season, the Knicks sent one of the symbols of the team to the SuperSonics, and then established Alan Houston's boss status, but it was this newly established Knicks boss who buried the Knicks' playoff journey this season, which was called ' by New Yorkers One of the best guards in the league's players completely lost the demeanor of the best guards in the face of the Hornets, the current Hornets are not the team that has no pursuit in New Orleans in the future, and now the Hornets in North Carolina still have pursuits, they want to open the market in this NCAA basketball mecca, and the strongest Hornets is David Wesley, Eddie Jones composed of the outside line, the New York Knicks' group of outside bandits were almost blown up by the Hornets, and New York's new boss Alan Houston was also completely frozen, if it wasn't for luck, New York was likely to be swept out by the Hornets, but in the end New York still won a game at home and finally lost 1-3。 …,

When all eyes are now on the final three steal-and-break games of the first round of the NBA, soon, the winner of this season's regular season MVP that many people are looking forward to will be revealed

Now the Spurs are ready to grab five with the king, which is not good news for Zhuang Fei, the Timberwolves have been resting for too long now, the Timberwolves' first round opponent Trail Blazers did not give the Timberwolves any test at all, and the intensity of the game is not as good as the regular season, although Zhuang Fei has been increasing the amount of training for the team, but even this is not able to maintain the state of the game, last season the Timberwolves also had such a good sparring partner as the Chinese national team, but this season the Timberwolves can really only play the intra-team competition by themselves.

Just when Zhuang Fei was thinking about this matter and was in a daze in his office, suddenly the door of the office was pushed open, Zhuang Fei looked up and saw that it was the team boss Garnett, at this time Zhuang Fei obviously felt that this inside line was sweating and panting, this was definitely running directly from the training hall. What's so urgent? Just as Zhuang Fei opened his mouth to ask, Garnett shouted directly at him

"Coach, I have fulfilled our agreement, I have become the best player in the NBA" (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
